Abstract Objectives The effect of 30-days of β-alanine (BA) supplementation on heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), inflammatory and neurotrophin responses in the hippocampus and hypothalamus of rats exposed to an acute heat stress was investigated. Methods Animals were randomized to either a control (CTL) group or BA supplementation (100mg·kg−1) group. All animal were fed a normal diet and only differed regarding supplementation. Following supplementation animals were either exposed to the heat stress (120 min at 40–41°C) or were unexposed. Following the acute heat stress, or at the end of the supplementation period, animals were harvested and their brains removed. Immunohistochemical technique was used to detect expression of HSP70, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hippocampus subregions and paraventricular nuclear (PVN) region of the hypothalamus. Results Three animals in CTL and one in BA did not survive the heat stress. Significant attenuation (P's < 0.005) in BDNF expression was noted in animals exposed to the heat stress compared to unexposed in all subregions (CA1, CA3 and DG) of the hippocampus and PVN. A significant elevation in BDNF expression in the CA3 subregion of rats fed BA and exposed to the heat stress was observed compared to exposed CTL animals. Significant elevations in COX2 was also noted in the CA1 and CA3 subregions in exposed compared to unexposed animals. COX2 expression was significantly greater (P ≤ 0.0065) in CTL compared with BA during heat exposure in the CA1 subregion of the hippocampus. Animals supplemented with BA also realized significantly higher HSP70 expression (P = 0.02) in the CA3 subregion of the hippocampus compared to CTL. Significant differences (P’s < 0.05) in NPY expression in all subregions of the hippocampus and PVN were noted between exposed and unexposed animals. However, NPY expression was significantly higher (P ≤ 0.03) for BA compared to CTL in exposed animals in the PVN. Conclusions Results suggested that BA supplementation appeared to increase resiliency to an acute heat stress and reduced the inflammatory response, while increasing HSP70 and neurotrophins expression.

Heat stress is one of the most important issues in broiler flocks impairing animal health and productivity. On a cellular level, excess heat exposure can trigger heat shock response acting for the restoration of cell homeostasis by several mechanisms, such as affecting heat shock protein synthesis, redox homeostasis and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The major aim of this study was to establish a novel avian hepatocyte—nonparenchymal cell co-culture as a model for investigating the cellular effects of heat stress and its interaction with inflammation in chicken liver. Cell fractions were isolated by differential centrifugation from a freshly perfused chicken liver, and hepatocyte mono-cultures as well as hepatocyte–nonparenchymal cell co-cultures (with cell ratio 6:1, hepatocytes to nonparenchymal cells, mimicking a milder hepatic inflammation) were prepared. Isolated and cultured cells were characterized by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry applying hepatocyte- and macrophage-specific antibodies. Confluent cell cultures were exposed to 43 °C temperature for 1 or 2 h, while controls were cultured at 38.5 °C. The metabolic activity, LDH enzyme activity, reactive oxygen species (H2O2) production, extracellular concentration of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and that of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL-)6 and IL-8 were assessed. Shorter heat stress applied for 1 h could strongly influence liver cell function by significantly increasing catabolic metabolism and extracellular H2O2 release, and by significantly decreasing HSP70, IL-6, and IL-8 production on both cell culture models. However, all these alterations were restored after 2 h heat exposure, indicating a fast recovery of liver cells. Hepatocyte mono-cultures and hepatocyte—nonparenchymal cell co-cultures responded to heat stress in a similar manner, but the higher metabolic rate of co-cultured cells may have contributed to a better capability of inflamed liver cells for accommodation to stress conditions. In conclusion, the established new primary cell culture models provide suitable tools for studying the hepatic inflammatory and stress response. The results of this study highlight the impact of short-term heat stress on the liver in chickens, underline the mediatory role of oxidative stress in acute stress response, and suggest a fast cellular adaptation potential in liver cells.

Abstract Background As a newly characterized type of noncoding RNA, circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to have functions in diverse biological processes of animals. It has been reported that several noncoding RNAs may regulate animals’ response to heat stress which can be easily induced by hyperthermia in summer. However, the expression and functions of circRNAs in the pituitary of sows and whether they participate in heat stress adaption are still unclear. Results In this study, we found that high temperature over the thermoneutral zone of sows during the summer increased the serum heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) level, decreased the superoxide dismutase (SOD) vitality and prolactin (PRL) concentration, and induced heat stress in sows. Then, we explored circRNA in the pituitary of heat-stressed and normal sows using RNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. In total, 12,035 circRNAs were detected, with 59 circRNAs differentially expressed, including 42 up-regulated and 17 down-regulated circRNAs in pituitaries of the heat-stressed sows. Six randomly selected circRNAs were identified through reverse transcription PCR followed by DNA sequencing and other 7 randomly selected differentially expressed circRNAs were verified by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The predicted target genes regulated by circRNAs through sponging microRNAs (miRNAs) were enriched in metabolic pathway. Furthermore, the predicted circRNA–miRNA–mRNA interactions showed that some circRNAs might sponge miRNAs to regulate pituitary-specific genes and heat shock protein family members, indicating circRNA’s roles in pituitary hormone secretion and heat stress response. Conclusions Our results provided a meaningful reference to understand the functions of circRNA in the porcine pituitary and the mechanisms by which circRNA may participate in animals’ response to heat stress.
